Default Air Traffic Control Professionalism - 09-05-2002, 07:13 PM

is that even a word?? hmm anyway!
I found this, http://www.airdisaster.com/download2/ua93.shtml some of you have probably heard it before but its the Air Traffic Control conversation with flight 93. the pennsylvania one.
You hear the terrorists talking, and then something wierd at the end about a black smoke.
its quite disturbing, but what gets me is the calmness of the air traffic control who dont panic once.

Wow. Never heard that before. Thats pretty amazing.

Just to clarify, when tower control was talking to the other pilot in the air who said he had a visual, that was another commercial airliner, correct?

Watch the film "Pushing Tin," it's a John Cusack film....And, aside from the romantic-Comedy Sub-Plot...The film has an interesting look at the life of a Air Traffic Controller....Its a VERY hard job...

i assume so anyway, i think he mentioned the plane was coming towards his direction or something.
The bit i dont understand is the ending though. WHo was that woman talking? a passenger? and who was the guy talking about the black smoke, was he a passanger who had taken control of the plane??

My brother was an Air Traffic Controller in the Air Force. He actually had me considering it for a while. If I cant pass the dlab to become a linguist ill probably do it.
